Why WSMA: The WSMA is a great vehicle for continuous
learning of the industry of health care and the capacity to influence our
entire served population.
Why should physicians lead: Everything that occurs in our
health delivery system starts with a medical staff member and ends with
one. We are very crucial members/stakeholders of the care delivery system.
Because of these facts, I believe as stakeholders we should be leading,
shaping, and creating the vision for our industry.
How do you help further WSMA’s vision to make Washington state the best
place to practice medicine and receive care:
By being constantly honest about the challenges that we have ahead of us
and also engaging in creating solutions and advocating for these
solutions.
Fun fact about you: I love planning trips and traveling.
